[HOW TO - vB4] Remove the vB Default Navtabs

Here is a quick article on how to remove some of the default vbulletin navtabs from the navbar template.

Removing the What's New navtab:

Find (near the top of the template):

Code:

        <vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search'">

Change to:

Code:

        <vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab']">

Find and Remove (about 2/3 down):

Code:

        <vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT == 'search'">
            <vb:if condition="$show['member']">
            <li  class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a>
...
a bunch more stuff inbetween to remove
...
            </li>
            </vb:if>
        <vb:elseif condition="$show['member']" />
            <li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>
        <vb:else />
            <li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>
        </vb:if>

SAVE

In a default navbar template, after removing the chunk of code above, you should end up with this in the template where the code used to be:

Code:

        {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_middle}
        {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_end}

Removing the Home navtab:
Go to Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Product: vBulletin CMS > Navbar: Insert CMS Navbar Entry
Plugin is Active: NO
SAVE

Removing the Blogs navtab:
Go to Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Product: vBulletin Blog > Navbar: Eval Blog Link Template and Validate Styleid
Find and Remove (or comment out):

Code:

if (defined('VBBLOG_CACHED_TEMPLATES'))
{
    if (defined('VBBLOG_SCRIPT'))
    {
        $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'vbblog';
    }
    $template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= vB_Template::create('blog_navbar_link')->render();
        $template_hook['navbar_getnew_menu'] .= vB_Template::create('blog_navbar_whatsnew_link')->render();
    if ($show['blog_search'])
    {
        $template_hook['navbar_search_menu'] .= vB_Template::create('blog_navbar_search')->render();
    }
}

SAVE

Removing the Forum navtab:

Find and remove (starts near the very top):

Code:

        <vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search'">
  ...
a bunch more stuff inbetween to remove
...
        <vb:else />
            <li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:link forumhome}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a></li>
        </vb:if>
